Arsene Wenger: Arsenal manager defends his transfer policy

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has defended his transfer policy by claiming that spending money "is not a quality".

The Gunners sold first-team regulars Robin van Persie and Alex Song to Manchester United and Barcelona respectively this summer, but reinforced their squad by signing Santi Cazorla, Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud.

Wenger has often been criticised for his reluctance to make big-money signings, but the Frenchman insists that splashing cash in the transfer market is not necessarily a sign of strength.
